who mentioned extending him?I don’t know it y’all saw the same Orlov I did in the playoffs but why would we extend him
I gotta think the current makeup is not what we'll be having for the starting forward group.I am curious how do you guys see your starting forward group this year with the current makeup of the team? Trying Kotkaniemi at 2C to start the season again?
I would be surprised if we got him over here and he was okay with going to the AHLDoes Nikishin jump straight into the line up next season or gets a year in Chicago with Morrow graduating to replace Burns?
I don't think the Canes will have a 2C this season.. just play 3 defensemen on the 2nd line and see what happens. Scoring goals is overrated anyway.I am curious how do you guys see your starting forward group this year with the current makeup of the team? Trying Kotkaniemi at 2C to start the season again?
You don't need centers in 2-3-1.I don't think the Canes will have a 2C this season.. just play 3 defensemen on the 2nd line and see what happens. Scoring goals is overrated anyway.
Yeah a good KHLer doesn't come over to bus around in AHL, for the salary reasons alone.I would be surprised if we got him over here and he was okay with going to the AHL
I dont think the Canes have had a 2C since Ray Ferraro in 1985.You don't need centers in 2-3-1.

that would be really dumb of jarvis to accept, if it isnt Svech's aav why even sign a long term deal?Not sure of the source:
Coming straight to the NHL is probably a condition of his leaving Russia.Does Nikishin jump straight into the line up next season or gets a year in Chicago with Morrow graduating to replace Burns?
Probably because Svech was a more proven player with a higher upside when he signed his contract.that would be really dumb of jarvis to accept, if it isnt Svech's aav why even sign a long term deal?
seems like he is making it up
was he?Probably because Svech was a more proven player with a higher upside when he signed his contract.
Slaf and Svech are both big boys.I think the Slafkovsky extension is a good blueprint for Jarvis: 8x7.5 makes the most sense, IMO.
Oh I was just f***in' with you. I'm agreeing on just about everything that you are saying. However, my pollyanna game says we'll get a scorer in a trade for Necas (unless we keep him and he plays for the next contract as he should).It's not optimism. It's being pragmatic and not freaking out until we see what the team is like on opening day and expecting that this front office will make changes if it isn't working. I fully expect they won't be as good as they were last year. As I said in an earlier post, I'm excited about this season as it could be they stink, or could be they are fun and exciting to watch or it could be they are good. No sense freaking out about it now. To each, their own.

we have 14.5 million with 12 forwards already signed. If we keep all 3 RFAs, 2 of the current contracts will be dropping. So we really have about 16-16.2 million in space.Oh I was just f***in' with you. I'm agreeing on just about everything that you are saying.

Necas, Jarvis, and Drury are left to be signed (as is Coghlan).
We've got $14 million in cap left. I'm wondering if we don't see a trade at/after camp as other teams solidify their squads. I mean, I'm a Drury fan, but he could be part of a package with picks, prospects, Necas, or Kotkaniemi (although that takes a lot of center depth away).
Regardless, that team needs 3 respectable scorers.
This site ate my long post twice so I’ll just say, I wouldn’t give Jarvis more than Svech off of a season with s shooting % over 18%.was he?
Andrei's first 3 seasons .287 goals per game rate, a 1.07G /60 and a 2.54 Points per 60
Seth's first 3 seasons .277 goals per game, 1.01 G/60 and a 2.31 points/60
in the playoffs
Andrei had a .76 ppg rate while Jarvis had a .675
that includes Jarvis having to play double the 5v5 minutes with staal in the playoffs that Svech did (142.5 to 74.5) in fairness Andrei did play 829 minutes of 5v5 in his first 3 regular seasons with Staal and Jarvis only 482.
when looking at the cap rising when the contracts are signed and the not so large statistical difference with Jarvis' much better defense, I dont see why Jarvis would sign a lower deal than Svech.
Potentially. I think the young age of KK and several positive underlyings is what is holding that up. Young players, especially large centers, sometimes can have strange developmental curves. A rebound season would give them significant re-assurances. If he doesn't do that soon, though, I think they could do exactly that.The really could use a Nino/Rask 2.0. Rotate that cap from 4C to Top 9 wing.
